Be the Bigger Person in Every Situation - Calm.

He falls asleep wide awake, deep in denial, his eyes start to quake

His retinas crack and water comes out, he forgot about tears emotional drought

He threw so many people under the bus the bus rolled over

By the past he got pulled over

He had a double date with destiny but gave her a cold shoulder

Like the general who bought fame and sold his soldiers

This ain’t bootstrap theory, mom was on section 8 clearly

I let the snakes near me cause it keeps the fakes away they fear me

Blackmailed by capitalism the boots are off

Gun to your head dancing like Astaire or Baryshnikov

Life’s a verse hope it doesn’t Enron, off you someone Madoff

Each breath is a Ponzi scheme I’m trying to keep death paid off

The game doesn’t take a day off, I know what time it is no JR, no playoffs

This is final, right side of the piano I’m trying to end on a high note

It’s easy to hate, it’s easy to blame, it’s easy to just want wealth and fame

If you don’t wake, the result is the same, you’ll lose what you built if your

egos not tamed

He points his finger and spins in a circle, screaming hate till his tongue

turns purple

He can’t take the L and fucking own it, he can’t look in the mirror and face

his opponent

It takes courage to look yourself in the eye, it takes courage to murder your

pride

If takes courage to forgive yourself, when your ego just wants you to blame

everyone else

I had to learn to take responsibility, admit defeat and I had to learn to

patience

I had to learn not to take the bait and be the bigger person in every situation

Admit defeat, take responsibility, don’t blame, fuck bullying, fuck homophobia,

fuck transphobia

Call out racism, punch a nazi, do the right thing, throw a brick at Sals pizza

shop

Think about why he wants to fight you, drive that drunk person home call them a

cab

We’re all not perfect, we’re shot through with contradiction

No one is perfect, Missy Elliot, forgive, audit your ego, fuck backstabbing

Fuck gossip, fuck rumors, be happy with yourself, fuck pride

Took my friend to the methadone clinic even though he stole from me

No one believes an ego maniac

Humility makes the best storyteller
